Alien Relic Hunter

"Is it a back-up reserved by the undead crew...or..." Ke Lan suddenly realized something was wrong, turned his head and said to Selene, "Is the Crescent Fortress equipped with environmental monitoring equipment?"

"The Crescent Fortress has Alpha Civilization's most advanced environmental monitoring equipment, which can monitor the environment in any corner of Alpha Planet in real time." Selene replied.

"Give me the environmental monitoring report near the Ark immediately! The most detailed one!"

"Okay." Less than half a second after Selene finished speaking, a large amount of information flow instantly poured into Ke Lan's mind——

According to the analysis results of the environmental monitoring equipment, after the Destruction Tree was destroyed by the Star Destroyer Cannon, the decomposed particles were evenly distributed in the surrounding air and spread with the flow of the air. Although these particles are extremely small, with a diameter of only a few tenths of a nanometer, which is slightly larger than an atom, each particle has this kind of abnormal energy attached to it. When the monitoring equipment of Crescent Fortress monitors this energy, When parsing, the machine will keep reporting errors and then crash and restart.

These particles with abnormal energy are the culprits of the mutation event in the military camp... This is not a "memetic infection" at all! As for why the mutation symptoms are the same as the first memetic infection incident, this is obviously to mislead everyone to treat this incident as a memetic infection and miss the best opportunity to evacuate!

"Magino! This is not a memetic infection!" Ke Lan no longer bothered to use Yaguna Kotor as a signal relay station, and directly used the high-power communication equipment of Crescent Fortress to cover the entire Alpha Planet. In the public communication The channel shouted, "The source of infection is a very small particle suspended in the air. If it is inhaled or contacted by humans, it will cause mutation! Let everyone evacuate the camp and stay away from the Ark! If conditions permit, Next, all employees will be issued non-filtering respirators to isolate their bodies from the surrounding environment as much as possible!"

There was no response. After Ke Lan finished speaking, the public communication channel returned to silence, and only the weak white noise of electricity could be heard... After waiting for half a minute, Layton's voice rang out: "Ke Lan , I tried calling the alliance’s internal channel, General Maginot’s private line, and the secret communication channel of this operation, but there was no response. I’m afraid the ground troops have…”

Thick radiation clouds cover the ground troops' barracks. Neither Crescent Fortress nor Yagunaktor can directly see the situation on the ground... The only information Ke Lan can get is that the area is contaminated by radiation. The concentration of abnormal energy particles suddenly increased several times in just a few minutes.

"Start the vital signs remote detection device, the target..." Before Ke Lan could finish speaking, Selene had already given the result - "According to the detection results, a large number of signs of skeletal activity were detected in the target area, and no survivors were found. By."

"All the corpses have been corroded so quickly..." Ke Lan bit his back molar forcefully, "What about the core area of ​​the Ark? Are there any corroded corpses there?"

Selene: "No remains were found in the core area of ​​the Ark... No survivors were found... However, a strong life response was detected. It has not yet been confirmed whether this reaction comes from an independent biological individual."

"Are the undead crew members still alive? Or is it something else?" Ke Lan took a deep breath, "Notify the entire Survivor Alliance army, all fortresses and ground units to prepare for Level III pollution protection, and open all evacuation facilities , personnel are strictly prohibited from going out; Skadi enters low-Earth orbit to rendezvous with Yagunaktor and remains on standby."

The fortresses built by Ark on Alpha Planet are all equipped with underground shelter facilities, and their protective capabilities are enough to withstand a round of nuclear weapons. Assuming that such particles that can erode human beings can only take effect through direct contact, then it is fully enclosed. The underground nuclear bunker can at least ensure the safety of those who stay on Alpha Planet for a long time.

"Hasn't the abnormal energy carried by those particles been analyzed yet?"

"It cannot be analyzed...but it can currently be confirmed that the abnormal energy carried on these particles is directly related to the life form in the core area of ​​​​the Ark." Selene said, "Based on the comparison of the information in the database, it can basically be identified as this Energy is a type of god-level energy. However, there are doubts in this logic - living organisms that interact directly with this energy will inevitably be corroded. However, not only are the living organisms in the core area of ​​​​the Ark not eroded, but even the degree of erosion is basically the same. It’s zero.”

The "god-level energy" in Selene's mouth naturally refers to the level of supernatural energy. It's just that the supernatural energy that Alpha Civilization left to Ke Lan has been "purified", and the owners of the energy, that is, the imprints of those gods, have been erased, so Ivan and Thirty-three can directly use these energies to strengthen themselves.

However, unpurified god-level energy is a very dangerous thing. Creatures that come into contact with it will break through the critical point of erosion in an instant - even if the energy level that the creature comes into contact with is so small that it cannot even light a match.

The imprint of gods attached to energy is difficult to explain using existing scientific theories. If we insist on using a term to describe it, the "power of law" that often appears in fantasy novels is very appropriate.

If you come into contact with these imprints, they will be completely eroded. This is the rule of this universe... Human civilization alone cannot break this rule.

Selene did not say that this was the energy of the alien gods, and she used the word god-level energy. The meaning could not be clearer - the source of these energies is not those messy alien gods, but the one who "captured" the Alpha civilization, even “He” whose name cannot be mentioned.

This kind of god-level energy also exists in the hive city, but the master of the hive city uses the chaotic space to "seal" these things in a relatively safe corner as much as possible... If Ke Lan is a super bad guy, after stepping into the cloud top The first time he crashed into the space-time fragments that sealed these things, he most likely had already sent them...

"You said that the life form in the core area of ​​​​the Ark is directly connected to the god-level energy? But this life form has not been eroded... Doesn't this violate the basic law of the god's imprint?" Ke Lan asked.

"This is indeed the only illogical part of the analysis results. However, considering that the database of human civilization is imperfect and the understanding of high-dimensional life forms is almost zero, I will only present the objective results of the analysis. Without any judgment," Selene replied.

"That's true... the job of AI is to analyze and calculate, and making judgments and decisions is a matter for humans..." Ke Lan nodded, "Then if I go and kill the guys in the core area of ​​Ark now... Will these particles stop spreading?"

"The calculation has no results, please make your own judgment."
